The critics contend that it is a kind of forced labour if the unemployed has to accept any occupation at any salary as modest as it may be in order to avoid administrative sanctions.

Fewer than 20 of these were for cause . Complete compliance was observed for only about 13%i of these inspections and IVo uncovered violations that were serious enough to warrant regulatory or administrative sanctions, which included suspension of clinical studies. The most frequently encountered deficiencies have been inadequate meeting minutes, lack of a quorum at meetings inadequate written procedures, and inadequate continuing review.
